Naming your house

Does your house have a name? Ours does, it's known as:

'WOODROYD'

We inherited the name of our house and we know very little about what it actually means. There is some suggestion that it hails from an area of England where one of the former owners must have lived at some stage. I've never been able to find anything to confirm this though.

It's nice having a name for our home, it feels special. Our house insurance had room on the form for 'House Name' so whenever I receive mail from them to comes addressed to me at 'Woodroyd.' It makes me feel quite regal, like I live in a stately home.

An old boyfriend of mine used to tell me the story that his grandparent's home was called 'Kenverosa'- an amalgam of their names and the fact that they grew roses. I've never forgotten that story. If we ever move again I think I'll name my home. I think houses deserve it.

Does your place have a name?

Our last house was called 'Woollahra' which was quite nice and we had a lovely sign next to the front door (it was there when we bought it) and our current house has a name too which was with it when we bought it. I think naming a house yourself sounds like a great idea.

Just questioning if eBay permits you to market [url=http://www.ticketchoice.com.au]concert tickets[/url] online? Do you know if you will find any restrictions depending on what country you're in?

My parents have just known as me and asked if i could "get rid" of their two tickets to some concert as they wont be able to make it as a result of another family event.

Besides asking close friends etc, i thought ebay would be a fantastic location to market them.

But whats ebay's policy on promoting tickets? Ive heard alot about it for the news but ive forgotten what happened.

and if it matters, the concert is inside this coming month

Thanks ahead of time for your advice.
